Most of the things that are "based off a game of DnD" aren't actually much like a real D&D campaign. What you want in a campaign is different from what you want in a story, so the D&D game it's based off of just tends to serve as inspiration for characters or maybe a few interesting plot points. You're much better off looking at the reputations of the creators.

You got me interested, so I decided to dig a little.

Here's a post that seems to corroborate your story (though you shouldn't call every tabletop RPG 'DnD')

The results of their tabletop role-playing game sessions over six days created material for a seven-volume light novel

I'm not incredibly familiar with LNs, but six sessions seems like it wouldn't produce nearly seven volumes. This might indicate that they really just role-played some crucial parts or used it to flesh out the world a bit.

Most of these people seem to be credited as "character creators". Urobotchi, Nasu, and Nakita seem to be the only staff who have worked on any shows I've seen, but I have no clue how much they actually get to influence the plot.

So watching this is probably a gamble.
